    Matthew 24

    Greetings covenantee~I have no problem with your statement here, none whatsoever. I might would add, the destruction of Israel as a nation and scattering them all over the world, again, and again (since they were to a degree, first by the Assyrians, and then by the Babylonians, for their...

    Matthew 24

    Sir, I have never said that I did not believe that Christ spoke to his disciples about what they would experience, because they did, yet, only a lesser degree than what will occur in the latter days during a tribulation that would be greater for the church (God's called out ones) than ever has...

    Matthew 24

    I read the scriptures, and hear what they are saying, and if I see what they are saying coming to pass, then I know and believe much like John the apostle saw the linen clothes and the napkin that was about his head, not lying with the lines clothes, but by itself..... Bottom line, we live by...

    Isaiah 48....There are a few short proverbs that cover a few things in this chapter. Babylon is mentioned in two of them by it’s name and in others by their deeds. Isaiah 48:14.."....he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans." The only Babylon that is on the...

    Understanding Who and What is the Babylon of Revelation.

    THE ORIGIN OF NAME BABYLON We will not spend much time on the meaning of the name Babylon. We will not say more than what is recorded for us. We are much more concerned on the hidden meaning of MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT. We are ONLY concerned how the Holy Ghost used it. In Genesis 11:1-9 we...

To be honest with you and our...
